A heavyweight title instant classic gets a second helping on Saturday when Deontay Wilder defends his WBC championship against Luis Ortiz in a rematch of their 2018 tilt.
Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs), who avoided disaster by surviving a wild Round 7 in their first meeting before rallying to finish Ortiz (31-1, 26 KOs), will also be looking to protect a scheduled February 2020 rematch with unbeaten lineal champion Tyson Fury that is already signed.
Ortiz, 40, has significantly overhauled his conditioning for the rematch as a means to fix the mistakes he made in their first meeting as he looks to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion.
